I’ve never fasted before.
Why not? Because my body hates me and likes to fall apart after a few hours of not eating, or if I don’t fall apart, my stomach growls really, really loud. I’m just fasting for 24 hours. Let’s see if I can make it through until 6:30 pm tomorrow (Thursday). Just so you know, for dinner at 5:30 I ate some left over pasta (not much), two slices of peanut butter toast, a bowl of cereal at Woody’s, a piece of pizza, some vanilla pudding, a glass of milk, and a small styrofoam cup of that coke slushie. I should be good for 24 hours, right??
Why am I fasting? CCF is doing a 24 hour fast for Mission Maasai, which I’ve already told you about. The concert is Monday night. Be there, or be amazing and donate money.
I have too much to do. Within the next 3 weeks, even before finals start, I have 4 big Commputer Science assignments, a CS test, a Japanese chapter test, a Japanese quiz, 3 Japanese homeworks, a speech in Spanish, a big presentation in Japanese, a weekend retreat, Chris’ and my birthdays (9th and 19th) and 25+ pages of PURA to write.
I’m in the library and I’m thirsty and the water fountain didn’t work.
maybe you could try fasting something other than food, maybe from breathing. i bet that would really test your faith
but seriously, for some people it’s not healthy to fast from food (eg. meagan pittman, my cousin leigha), but there’s always music, tv, etc., or IM and other internet stuff, lots of options. and don’t let people make you feel guilty about eating! it’s a voluntary submission to God, not a way to look like a good Christian and follow the crowd. and i was really just kidding about the breathing thing, i don’t recommend it
